  - An off-by-one error in the BSON bulk document writer in the MongoDB C Driver can write one zero byte
    immediately past a heap allocation when a document ends at a specific buffer boundary. An actor who can
    influence the size of documents serialized by an embedding application can corrupt adjacent process memory
    or terminate the process. Reaching this issue requires the application to use the BSON bulk-writer API and
    produce a precise cumulative document size. (CVE-2026-106431)
